Description

Chemical mechanical polishing solution and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polishing solution, in particular to chemical mechanical polishing solution for flattening a silicon dioxide substrate in the field of integrated circuit manufacturing and application thereof.
Background
During the fabrication of integrated circuits, thousands of structural elements are often built on a silicon wafer substrate, and these structural elements are further interconnected by multiple layers of metal to form functional circuits and devices. In the multilayer metal interconnection structure, silicon dioxide or silicon dioxide doped with other elements is filled between metal wires to be used as an interlayer dielectric (ILD). With the development of metal interconnection technology of integrated circuits and the increase of the number of wiring layers, Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) has been widely used for surface planarization in the chip manufacturing process. These planarized chip surfaces facilitate the production of multi-layer integrated circuits and prevent distortions caused by the application of dielectric layers on uneven surfaces.
The CMP process is the polishing of the surface of the integrated circuit using an abrasive-containing mixture and a polishing pad. In a typical chemical mechanical polishing process, a substrate is brought into direct contact with a rotating polishing pad, and a carrier is used to apply pressure to the backside of the substrate. During polishing, the pad and platen are rotated while maintaining a downward force on the back surface of the substrate, and an abrasive and chemically reactive solution (commonly referred to as a slurry or slurry) are applied to the pad, which reacts chemically with the film being polished to begin the polishing process.
Silicon dioxide, a commonly used dielectric material in integrated circuits, involves the removal of the silicon dioxide dielectric layer in many polishing processes. For example, in the polishing process of the oxide interlayer medium, the polishing slurry is mainly used for removing the oxide medium layer and flattening; when the shallow trench isolation layer is polished, the polishing solution is mainly used for removing and flattening the oxide dielectric layer and stopping on the silicon nitride; in barrier layer polishing, the polishing solution needs to remove silicon dioxide, copper and a copper barrier layer; in a Through Silicon Via (TSV) process, the formation of the Via also requires the removal of excess silicon dioxide with a polishing solution. In these polishing processes, a higher removal rate of the oxide dielectric layer is required to ensure the productivity.
Oxide dielectric materials include thin film thermal oxide silicon dioxide (thin thermal oxide), high density plasma oxide (high density plasma oxide), borophosphosilicate glass (borophosphosilicate glass), tetraethoxy silicon dioxide (PETEOS), and carbon doped silicon dioxide (carbon doped oxide). Polishing abrasives used in the silica dielectric material polishing slurry are mainly ceria and silica, but the ceria abrasive easily scratches the surface during polishing. Silica generates less surface defects during polishing, so silica is used in a large amount as abrasive grains. However, in order to achieve higher oxide material removal rates, it is common to increase the amount of abrasive particles used, but an increase in the amount of abrasive particles used results in an increase in the surface roughness of the wafer.
The chemical mechanical polishing solution disclosed in chinese patent CN104449396A adopts sulfonic acid compounds to improve the surface defect degree of polished silica, and the polishing solution includes water, colloidal silica abrasive, sulfonic acid additives, inclusion compound and oxidant, and has a pH value of 10 or more. The chemical mechanical polishing solution has a silicon oxide removal rate of not less than 1000

Per minute, and promotes post-polishing dimensions>The defect count of SP1 with the particle size of 0.16 micrometer is less than or equal to 70, and the scratch number of SP1 is less than or equal to 25. A number of patents also disclose the use of nonionic surfactants in polishing solutions. Chinese patent CN1688665A discloses the use of an amphiphilic nonionic surfactant in the chemical mechanical polishing process of copper, which reduces dishing and dielectric erosion by adding the surfactant, but does not address the effect of the surfactant on the surface of silica. Chinese patent CN101280158A discloses a chemical mechanical polishing solution for polysilicon, which uses a polyol type nonionic surfactant to inhibit the removal rate of polysilicon and obtains the polysilicon/silicon dioxide removal rate selectivity ratio required by the process. But the effect of the nonionic surfactant on the silica surface is not mentioned.
In order to overcome the problems of large surface roughness and more pollutant residues of silicon dioxide (TEOS) in the polishing process of the existing chemical polishing solution, a new chemical mechanical polishing solution is urgently needed to be sought.
